i agree with Yani. nisa, a routine will help your baby understand that even if he has to stop playing now, next day, or later in the day, he can play again. walaupun first few days, maybe dia nangis or protest stopping the play, but over next few days, he can understand that the time will come again.

Nisa,Talking him through things also helps. My daughter used to throw a fit jugak when I stopped her from playing for meals. But, explaining, talking calmly to her, telling er masa makan, masa main, masa tidur - just terangkan apa yg tengah dibuat, helps her to calm down too. And I think it help them to understand routine also =)
